Housing occupancy and vacancy rates in Gardner can help us get a better idea of how much demand there is for living and storage space in Gardner and thus the kind of storage prices and availability we should expect to find. High occupancy rates can indicate a lack of housing supply in Gardner, which may correlate to a lack of storage unit inventory and thus higher rental rates for self storage in the Gardner area. According to US Census estimates, 91% of housing units in Gardner are occupied, while the vacancy rate is at 9%.
